How do I stop feeling so isolated?

I have made the experience that other people usually also feel isolated. Not all of them. But more than one would expect. So when I feel lonely I send messages to friends who I haven't heard of in a long time, asking how they are doing. I treat them with the same compassion and care that I am currently really wishing for and usually a surprising amount of love and kindness and deep connection is coming back. It is so much easier to receive what you need if you show people around you that you are also willing to give that. This is the only thing that becomes more and more, the more you share it.

One way that I coped with isolation, particularly isolation that I couldn't practically do anything about was learn to reframe loneliness in my mind. I was not alone, I was with myself. Me, with all my complexities and idiosyncrasies and experiences. I realized that I could surprise myself, time alone felt welcome. How would I react in a certain situation? How do I feel about this topic I really haven't thought much about? How quickly could I learn a new skill? You are not alone when you are with yourself, because you are a multitude of different kinds of people coming together. Get to know them!

Isolated or lonely ness is one of the biggest problem which majority people are facing. And feeling been isolated will make your mind very weak and it will allow you to develop negative thoughts and get depressed. Always remember our mental health is very important for us. No one will be responsible for our own thoughts or actions hence always keep your self involved in any activities, prepare a time table. And also try to love your self more. When you love your self more you will never feel isolated. Because we must accept and enjoy our own company first. Always move your self or connect with only those people who bring the best in you. And motivate you with positivity. And never allow your brain to think negative.

If possible, you should look at your life critically. What could be causing this? Without knowing a cause, you can not know a solution; this goes for any problem, ever. However, it is very possible that you can not identify a cause in your life. This is a case where you should speak to an expert. Find someone you can trust to give you skilled and thoughtful insight, and describe your problem (in this case, feeling isolated), and your life. They should be able to help from there, however, you will have to trust them and be willing to execute suggestions that they make to minimize that isolated feeling, though if you truly doubt their suggestion, you have no obligation to follow through.

I've personally felt this way many times in the past. I do not know the specifics of your life but I know that isolation can be one of the most devastating human emotions. We all go through it, and we all know it sucks. I think one way you can combat this is to talk to someone you trust. This can be anyone - a friend, a parent, a therapist, a 7 cups Listener, etc. I find there are always good people out there waiting to listen. You need only reach out. This brings me to my next point. A large part of this isolation, I've found, is low self-esteem. We feel isolated because we feel abnormal in some way. We judge ourselves and our problems as unimportant, and we don't talk to others for fear of being a burden. It is important to take a step back, breathe, and know that you are valid and that your emotions are valid. You are entitled to your feelings. Another way I've also dealt with isolation is by focusing on things other than myself. I personally love music - and the beauty I've found within it has the power to bring me in touch with the positivity of life. Nature is also powerful. You can go outside and just look at the sky, or admire human architecture, or even grass.

There are times in life when you feel isolated for example, when a group of friends exclude you or you don't feel important to them. It is a feeling that is hard to stop and I guess an idea would be to when you feel confident in yourself then, you feel sometimes that it doesn't matter what others think about you. So I guess some ideas on how to stop feeling isolated could be speaking openly to people around you about what you don't like. Sometimes they don't realize it. Other times, people might do it with intentions so you think they don't deserve you as when someone isolates you, it would be their problem. Stay confident or talk openly about your feelings.

Great question! You can come to 7 cups and start talking to people here without disclosing private information. If you want, you can also start by joining communities that has your interest. By doing this it makes it easier for people to talk to you because you have something that you both like in common. Feeling isolated may deal with you feeling that you have nothing to talk about with people or feeling like no one wants to talk to you. This is also where groups come in. Yes, there are time isolation is good but having someone to talk to is also good. In conclusion, try 7 cups group chats and communities, find a something your passionate about to talk about and when you’re ready join public groups in your area.

Consider what gives your inner happiness like reading, watching movies , writing, sketching , cooking , gardening, exercising and do that . Else best is to look for a new hobby. Learn something new, improve your skills set for job. This way you will feel as a part of activity and never be isolated. Do keep this is mind people have said books are once best friend. Adopt a pet, once you get a pet and start taking care of it you will never feel alone and pet will become your loyal friend.

Everybody feels isolated at times. You can try to connect with people who share similar interests. If you are feeling isloated even when you are with people you should find a different way to occupy your time. You could take up a new hobby such as gardening, reading or even binge watching a tv show to take your mind off feeling isolated. You could even take up an online learning course. I got over the feeling of being isolated by adopting a dog. Just do what makes you happy don't think about feeling isolated. Keep your mind and body healthy.

I've found that by making a list of all the people I need to connect with helps with not feeling isolated. Each week I make an effort to text, call, or email as many people on my list as possible. Also, I have found writing letters to a friend or relative helps as well. By starting a mail chain gives me something to look forward to each week. Also, receiving a letter in the mail is a mood booster because it's not bills, or spam mail, but something happy and positive. It's hard right now stating connected in a time when we have to be disconnected. However, connecting to people virtually or in reality is important.
